Subject: Development at E. Cottonwood and Ida Ave. App #18516

Dear City Commission,
I am writing to strongly support the mixed use development proposed for my NE Bozeman neighborhood at the
intersection of E Cottonwood and Ida Ave. My wife and I live at 104 N Church which is about one half mile south
of the development. Although we have only lived in Bozeman for four years we were strongly attracted to the NE
Bozeman neighborhood for its mixed use and dynamic, energetic urban character.
Aspects of this development which deserve high praise and city approval include:
- Mixed use and modest scaled buildings which mesh nicely with the surrounding community
- Major affordable housing component
- Generous open space which filters throughout the development and offers easy access to occupants and the
community
- Natural, creative landscaping which will serve as an example to the city, residents and developers on how to
conserve water resources
- Energy conserving
- Ample parking, much of which will be below ground which will save valuable street level space for people,
landscaping and buildings
Sincerely,
Bob Bayley
